With the current c-ares parser, as per PR #765 parsing was broken due to
validation that didn't understand the `SIG` record class. This PR adds
basic, non validating, and incomplete support for the `SIG` record type.
The additional `KEY` and `NXT` which would be required for additional
verification of the records is not implemented. It also does not store
the raw unprocessed RR data that would be required for the validation.
The primary purpose of this PR is to be able to recognize the record and
handle some periphery aspects such as validation of the class associated
with the RR and to not honor the TTL in the RR in the c-ares query cache
since it will always be 0.

The query cache wasn't properly flushing on server list changes
and was attempting to flush even when the server list didn't
actually change.

As per Issue #760, the use of `struct timeval` is meant for only time
differentials, however it could be used to denote an exact timeout. This
could lead to y2k38 issues on some platforms.

The DNS message protocol when using non-binary strings needs to be in
the ASCII printable range. The function prototype does elude to this
but it was not actually validating the string was in anyway valid and
could be used. DNS parsing will now fail if an expected string isn't
an ASCII string.

Automatically detect configuration changes and reload. On systems which
provide notification mechanisms, use those, otherwise fallback to
polling. When a system configuration change is detected, it
asynchronously applies the configuration in order to ensure it is a
non-blocking operation for any queries which may still be being
processed.
On Windows, however, changes aren't detected if a user manually
sets/changes the DNS servers on an interface, it doesn't appear there is
any mechanism capable of this. We are relying on
`NotifyIpInterfaceChange()` for notifications.

at https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/601#issuecomment-1801935063 you
chose not to scatter `const` on the public interface because of the plan
- now realised - to add threading to c-ares, and in the expectation that
even read operations would need to lock the mutex.
But the threading implementation has a _pointer_ to a mutex inside the
ares channel and as I understand it, that means that it is just fine to
mark `ares__channel_lock` (and `ares__channel_unlock`) as taking a
`const` channel. It is the pointed-to mutex that is not constant, but C
does not propagate `const`-ness through pointers.
This PR sprinkles const where appropriate on public interfaces.

Due to a logic flaw dns name compression writing was not properly implemented
which would result in the name prefix not being written for a partial match.

salen validation should be greater than or equal to the required
storage size. Its not uncommon to use `struct sockaddr_storage` in
modern code which is definitely larger than `struct sockaddr_in` and
on some systems even larger than `struct sockaddr_in6`.

The DNS configuration for apple is stored in the system configuration
database. Apple does provide an emulated `/etc/resolv.conf` on MacOS
(but not iOS), it cannot, however, represent the entirety of the DNS
configuration. Alternatively, libresolv could be used to also retrieve
some system configuration, but it too is not capable of retrieving the
entirety of the DNS configuration.
Attempts to use the preferred public API of `SCDynamicStoreCreate()` and
friends yielded incomplete DNS information. Instead, that leaves some
apple "internal" symbols from `configd` that we need to access in order
to get the entire configuration. We can see that we're not the only ones
to do this as Google Chrome also does:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/net/dns/dns_config_watcher_mac.cc
These internal functions are what what`libresolv` and `scutil` use to
retrieve the dns configuration. Since these symbols are not publicly
available, we will dynamically load the symbols from `libSystem` and
import the `dnsinfo.h` private header extracted from:
https://opensource.apple.com/source/configd/configd-1109.140.1/dnsinfo/dnsinfo.h

**Summary**
This PR adds a server state callback that is invoked whenever a query to
a DNS server finishes.
The callback is invoked with the server details (as a string), a boolean
indicating whether the query succeeded or failed, flags describing the
query (currently just indicating whether TCP or UDP was used), and
custom userdata.
This can be used by user applications to gain observability into DNS
server health and usage. For example, alerts when a DNS server
fails/recovers or metrics to track how often a DNS server is used and
responds successfully.
**Testing**
Three new regression tests `MockChannelTest.ServStateCallback*` have
been added to test the new callback in different success/failure
scenarios.

Improve reliability in the server retry delay regression tests by
increasing the retry delay and sleeping for a little more than the retry
delay when attempting to force retries.
This helps to account for unreliable timing (e.g. NTP slew)
intermittently breaking pipelines.

I tried to build c-ares using CMake with the latest Android NDK
(r26/27), but failed as follows.
```

It looks like the NDK recently added C99 code containing `inline`
functions, but c-ares is setting the `C_STANDARD` CMake property to C90.
